Do You think China and the rest of the world is not moving ahead. We fell 8 yrs behind with Bush. Now we are playing catchup. GM could have ruled the world now if they would not have gotten into bed with “big oil”.

Most Americans think Barry has a money tree on the back lawn of the White House.

It’s OUR money fellow taxpayers! And he is spending it before your grandkids have EARNED it.

Wake up people! We made a BIG Mistake!

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 17:49:08 +0000http://127.0.0.1/wordpress12/?p=5687#comment-20454I have my doubts about this… How much money did we give to AIG? And now why are we only investing 2.4 billion in alternative transportation then? Anyways, in his speech, Obama says smaller businesses are more innovative, then why is the majority of the grant money going to the Big 3 automakers? GM built an electric car 10 years ago, and destroyed it (read about the EV1). They don’t deserve a dime of our tax dollars. Not to say that I dont think we should be investing in electric cars- it just doesn’t make sense to award $200 million dollars to a company (GM) who built an electric car and sold the relevant patents to an oil company (Chevron), who refuses to let anyone put NiMH batteries in 100% electric cars now. And on the topic, if Obama wants to get serious about electric cars, he should enact eminent domain to release the NiMH battery patents from Chevron!

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 22:21:10 +0000http://127.0.0.1/wordpress12/?p=5687#comment-20452Exciting times! This article & the two Nissan stories on this site are interesting but no real proof is yet to be seen in how companies will react under market conditions/pricing or how suppliers will deliver on electrification systems (remember Cosby).

A long-term commitment by government & manufactures is needed & there needs to be innovative ways to get the auto industry to produce a full lineup of serial hybrids & EV’s as we are yet to see a full lineup of hybrids including a no show hybrid mini van & limited choices in subcompacts, or even cross-over SUV’s.

To speculate, pricing is key to get early consumers interested in EV’s due to current battery limitations . I’m not sure why more have not commented on the Federal Tax Rebate & if a auto manufacture could create an initial 30k EV, that vehicle could be a direct challenge to the Prius from similar pricing after rebate. How fun would that be as a consumer!
